So, I return to work on the 4th of January, with more hours and more pay. He literally told me that things were a mess in the department and needed to be put back on an even keel.

Two and a half months after I left, and THEY call ME![:D][:D][:D][:D]

That's great, T! It's nice to feel needed and wanted. (Especially if they want to pay you!) [8D]

Is it a fixed length contract this time?

Great Kristian! [:)]

BTW, is this full week work hours now (i.e. around 5 x 8 = 40 hours per week)?

Also will you still have just 1 year contract?

Hello Leo. I need to re-install it. I'm thinking of up-grading it. I just need to scan my old rating badge and then I can have a better version (the real thing instead of a line drawing!) and it will be in color (white and gold, at any rate).

Maybe later I can beg one of the more technologically inclined brethern to help me with a sig-banner.

As it stands, it's a 3-month, 5 days a week contract. I'm being hauled in as a trouble-shooter; I wasn't kidding when I said that he'd said that everything was a mess down there.

The leadership is considering making the position permanent, because it's more efficient than having people in and out the door all the time. Hmmm, I guess I could have told them that before my first contract expired. In fact, I think I DID tell them that[:D].

Whats this with you 'peasants', and your Pinot, there is only one descent wine in this World, and that is South Australian Shiraz from the Barossa Valley! [:'(]
Is this the one that also doubles as a good engine degreaser or is this the one that is for real fans of emesis?

Have I ever mentioned what a splendid job DivePac88 did on my siggy banner and avatar? Perhaps you could inquire further with him...

Great news, T.

Look at the bright side...you'd have to scratch and bite for years to get a meaningful raise in this economic climate. By going away and coming back again, you have avoided several years (?) of interim 'merit' or COLA raises and gone straight up the salary chart as a new hire. Good on you.

Yes you have. And he did a magnificent job! We are very lucky to have such talented and kind people as he, Rogue and the Amazing Dixie on our forums! [&o] Maybe one of them will have the time during this very busy season (or after it) to help me out. I have a few ideas on what I like , but am such a "digital neanderthal" that implementation escapes me! Just ask Dixie about the trauma that I inflicted upon him when he kindly created my 1st (and so far, only sig banner). [8|]
